Colombia has been occupied for a long time. In all this time a lot of things have happened; like Europeans coming to take all the gold. In this essay I want you to see how people did things before the Europeans came, how they worked, and how the country was divided.
Colombia is a country that has been inhabited for a lot of time. It was divided by a lot of groups like, the Muiscas that lived in the central Andes of Colombia; the Tayronas that lived in the Sierra Nevada of Santa Marta, and the Quillancigas and the Pastos lived in the south of Colombia. The people that weren’t memebers of any group couldn’t habit in those territories or they became slaves “la comunidad dominante se unen los jefes de las comunidades vencidas, dando origen a una estructura diferenciada entre comuneros o idividuos y miembros de la administración del cacicazgo” Colombia imagines de su diversidad (1492 a hoy, pg 28). The indian community was composed by a property system that had three economic concepts
The reciprocity
The distrubution
And the exchange of things
It was very important to exchanged things with external territories or between different regions of Colombia because not all the things could be found everywhere. “En los llanos Orientales, los indigenas detenian la Guerra para proceder a hacer sus intercambios” Colombia imagines de su diversidad (1492 a hoy, pg 32).
The Europeans found that in Colombia there was a lot of gold, and they began to take it all. The gold that wasn’t taken is now in “El museo de oro” in Bogotá, in the collection of “El Banco central de Costa Rica” and in other museums of America and Europe.
Colombia was an organized territory; the Europeans, in my opinion didn’t help the Precolombians. I think they made it worse, because they took the gold, they made them loose their traditions, ancient cultures, and they changed all their daily lives.
